Everything your child eats and drinks, especially soft drinks and foods high in sugar and starch, will affect their body, teeth and gums. With good oral care and hygiene, reducing the amount of foods high in sugar and starch, as well as reducing snacking between meals, will help keep carries from developing in your child’s teeth. This is because they are not under attack from carries causing acids as often or as long, reducing the need for fillings. Teeth-friendly snacks include fresh fruits, vegetable sticks, nuts, cheese and crackers.
